Busy @ Bucks

OUR TEAM! 
 We have 2 weeks under our belt and it's beginning to feel like "home"- maybe it's cuz we've been nearly living there.  We are in a cramming mode right now - learning new computer and phone systems, people, prices, vendors, events . . . I'm looking forward to it becoming a tad mundane - but I think that's a long ways off. 

Oh yeah - those mismatched door stickers are a priority.  Any ideas?  Milah came up with a winning slogan that I think we will use in marketing - "It's always Buck's Season" 

We determined that we couldn't work in the existing conditions as they were too filthy and bleak, so we've been busy updating the place as well . . .

The Main office.  Chose gray and a funky green color. Would never choose these colors at home, but thought it would be fun to do something way different.  Lively, clean and friendly

The small office.  Carpet was installed in the 70s and rarely, if ever cleaned.  We ripped out the nasty stuff, painted the floor and grabbed a remnant.  Clean and fresh.

The laundry is continual - washing rags.  Cleaned/organized and painted- makes a HUGE difference. An unbelievable transformation


Shop - painted.  Continuing to organize and clean.


Bathroom - nasty icky walls painted and cleaned.  I wasn't picky about the colors - just went to the Lowes mistint section and grabbed a gallon for 5$ and a quart for 2.50.  Lowes is a few blocks away (oh yeah baby)!

Hey Lisa, it all looks great and you must be running on fumes (literally with all of those toilets around!)What a lot of organising, updating and improving you've already managed to do. Your team looks happy to be there-hope it all continues well and settles down a little soon.

I think you must work the same way Scott does! Look at all you've managed to do! The office and shop look so much improved!,

Luckily we have plenty of help - I just picked out the colors-didn't even pick up a paint brush. Now that's my kind of painting:)
